Perhaps you should explore further the wonder of their resorting to texting in response to your remarks.
Sorry but
If I'm talking to somebody and enjoying the conversation, I'll ignore my phone. Regardless of gender. But if the conversation is uncomfortable or weirding me out, I'll pull out my phone, even if it's just to play a video game, in order to ignore the person.
As for everybody blaming everything on drama or women hating on other women. I find that
.
In this area, and other transient areas that I've lived in before, and is true for both male and female, either people are from here and know each other and are related to each other, or they aren't. In the latter case, those people tend to be more limited and even more selective about their social circles due to location circumstances.
If I make friends with someone and think I like them, I try to get to know them better. Sometimes in that process of developing an adult relationship, I discover that maybe we don't have that many common interests and let the friendship development lapse. No skin off my nose.
I'm not a social butterfly, but I'd rather hang around with just a few people that I know, like and have common interests with, than hang out with a gaggle of people just to have "friends" that amount to no more than social aquaintances.
Of course I'm lucky in that for the most part, I do like my husband's girlfriends.
But if I didn't feel a common bond of some sort, I doubt I'd want to waste my time hanging out. Just because somebody knows my husband, isn't a good enough reason to be friends, go shopping, have dinner et.al. :shrug:
